The church was built during the 13th century in Romanesque style using brick, a common material for churches in this part of southern Sweden. A small tower was added later in the medieval period, giving the building its present outline.
Inside, visitors can see medieval wall paintings that have survived from the church's early centuries, offering a glimpse of the decorative schemes once common in Scandinavian parish churches.
Among the furnishings, the altarpiece and pulpit are dated to the late 16th century, while the sandstone font is said to be as old as the church itself, making it one of the building's oldest surviving fittings.
The church has had more than one organ over the years. An earlier instrument with four stops was built in 1856 by Sven Fogelberg of Lund. The current mechanical organ dates from 1952 and was built by Olof Hammarberg of Gothenburg.
